We have the standard profile as a template made according to the solder paste specs. For some boards we measure the result at 2 points, on the board itself and on top of a sensitive SOT263 module and adjust accordingly. The solder paste is well kept,

In switching to lead free processing, we find ourselves having over 400 PCB part numbers with Sn63 HASL finish. And there is no hope of quickly purging inventory and getting our drawings changed to call out a lead free finish. I want to avoid having

All I got to say is a bowl and spoon and mix it up a little before u place it on the stencil. That works fine on our end all the time.

FYI AIM has a patnented in-tube mixing propeller. Crazy, but it actually works.

OK. Thanks!! Lastly, is it the nature of the chemistry that Sn/Pb solder mixed with Pb-free alloy will be getting voids? If so, what's the physic/chemistry behind it?

1)Though in many cases the difference between SAC305 and SAC405 was small,and not always statistically significant, it was observed that SAC405 generally outperformed SAC305 joints. Under 0°C to 100°C thermal cycling,no statistically significant

Could this be an opportunity to explore the use of cartridge-type paste dispensers? Or maybe a reason to keep working over the weekend. * Re-Storing & Re-Using “Used” Solder Paste. Though not a recommended practice, used solder paste from the stenci

Mario, what happens when there are components on the boards that are not rated to take temperature of 230-240 C Peak for a mixed assembly. I guess there are tons of sn/Pb components that have rated temp of 225-230 C.. So in guess you might want

You should have no difficulty with QFN or QFP parts when using non-RoHS solder. The QFP's are most likely to have tin plated leads and the metallisation on the QFN lands the same, or ENIG. Check the component part datasheets to verify the plating an
